This past Sunday was my Mom's birthday and I made this Tulip Happy Birthday Pop Up Box Card for her. I had to get my creative thinking on to make this card. I knew right away I wanted to have tulips because they are one of my mom's favorite flowers. I also knew I wanted to make a pop up box card because I like that they can serve double duty as a card and decoration. Believe it or not, out of all of the Cricut cartridges I have there was not one single tulip flower I liked so I had to create my own. I looked through images on Google of tulips to get the general shape. I noticed the shape was kind of like an egg so I decided I was going to cut 3 egg shapes and layer them and OMG...it worked! I then needed to find a stem and leaves I liked. I found that some blades of grass would work for that effect. Now I absolutely had to use purple because it is mine and my mom's favorite color. Lastly, it was about getting it all cut out and put together. I am so pleased with the way this card turned out and so was my mom.
